Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Payroll by Nethris at none against Canada Post's shown. Payroll by Nethris also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). Canada Post's advantage is ratings volume (5K vs 3) and rating (4.6 vs 4.3). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
